61. The Modern Word - Derek Walcott's "The Prodigal: A Poem" In 1957 derek walcott left his Caribbean for another geographic archetype of the New World, New York City. The future Nobel Laureate was 27, and had come to http://www.themodernword.com/reviews/walcott_prodigal.html

The Prodigal: A Poem Derek Walcott Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2004, ISBN 0374237433, 112 Pages, Hardcover $20.00. [ Browse/Purchase Review by Eli Jelly-Schapiro Even before Walcott published his first book of poetry at the age of 18, the young writer had thought assiduously about the relationship of his art to his island, and his art/island to the world beyond the Caribbean. There was a time when the young artist felt as though leaving the island was tantamount to betrayal. Each journey outside the archipelago, that first trip to New York perhaps more than any other, has represented a crossing-over; the artist, formerly one with his subject, is forced to adopt a more detached perspective and confront the complexities attendant to such a shift. Yet, as Walcott so often expresses in his verse, the Caribbean and its people are born from exile, and thus familiar with the conflicting feelings of alienation and euphoria engendered by the otherness of their existence. In his newest work, the stunning and multi-textured book-length poem The Prodigal oeuvre , as is the notion of exile in general. In previous works, the poet meditates on the idea of Crusoeian isolation. Exiled from one another and the world by the omnipotent sea, the islands of the Caribbean are the very embodiment of apartness. While both cursed and blessed by this physical exile, Walcott suggests that the project of the Caribbean must be to step outside of history itself: to see the world with fresh eyes, as would a child born in the same breath as the unnamed landscape.

By JEFFREY CYPHERS WRIGHT Offoffoff.com Blue skies, expansive seas and tropical palms swaying in the breeze... a lone figure at home on the edge... that's what you get when you look into the soul of Derek Walcott. Renowned as a literary lion, the 75-year-old Nobel Laureate is a champion of his native St. Lucia in the Caribbean. His poems are alive with burning metaphors as he describes the bright sunlight beating on the island. The paintings are in some ways a step back from the glittering rhythms and conceits he beats out on the anvil of his verse. What the landscapes forego in intensity though, they gain in intimacy.

What are these? By Fred D'Aguiar Friday, 18 February 2005 A few pages shy of the end of his latest book-length poem, Derek Walcott shows his poet's hand: "In what will be your last book make each place as if it had just been made, already old, but new again from naming it". Naming, or what the Nobel-anointed bard from St Lucia calls "Adam's gift", has never been more poignant. This is a last book, Walcott says - yet the poet aligns his art with beginnings not endings. He shuns the idea of writing for posterity and gambles instead on poetry as temporal, rehearsals of something new and old, simultaneously. Ezra Pound's dictum, "make it new", is recast as Trotsky's perpetual revolution, in terms of the unstable, slippery nomenclature of language rather than economic forces.

An exception to this is his 1997 collaboration with Paul Simon on the Broadway play The Capeman, about the life of a Puerto Rican gang member in New York. I happen to own the CD for that show and remember being struck by the poignancy of the lyrics. But I never paid attention to who the lyricist was. While the show was not a hit, the Paul Simon CD Songs from The Capeman is one I've enjoyed over the years.

Derek Walcott Politics and Poetics by Paula Burnett Order this Book now Features Search UPF home ... Contact us Paula Burnett offers a new interpretation of the life's work of acclaimed St. Lucian poet, playwright, and Nobel Prize winner Derek Walcott. Often regarded as the radical voice of the Third World, his drama and poetry together form a coherent project designed to create a legacy for modern Caribbean society. Illuminating his ideology and the technique that informs his writing, Burnett discusses his unique approach to myth, identity, and aesthetics. In addition to his poetry, the book draws extensively on Walcott's essays, plays, broadcasts, private interviews, and public appearances, some previously unpublished or unrecorded. What emerges is the picture of an epic poet with remarkable gifts working to impart the distinctive wisdom of Caribbean culturea politically aware writer celebrating his people, place, and language. Burnett also reveals an artist with a message to the world: that a positive sense of identity can be built out of negative circumstances like injustice and exploitation, if only creativity is mobilized. The book serves as a critical study for more experienced scholars and as a solid introductory text for students of Walcott’s work. Its readable and well-organized style also makes it appealing to anyone with a general interest in poetry.

UNIVERSITY OF M ISSOURI PRESS Epic of the Dispossessed Derek Walcott's Omeros Robert D. Hamner ISBN 0-8262-1124-0 200 pages 6 x 9 Bibliography, Index, Illustrations, 1997 $42.50s cloth ISBN 0-8262-1152-6 $24.95s paper In Epic of the Dispossessed, Robert D. Hamner offers an insightful, well-researched analysis of Omeros, the masterful epic poem by 1992 Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott. Rich and various, Omeros is an innovative extension of the epic tradition. Despite Walcott's insistence that he violates the formulaþhe notes his autobiographical presence in the poem and the absence of classical heroic figures and epic battlesþthe poem incorporates fragments of all the definitive characteristics of the genre. Hamner establishes that through its self-reflexive textuality, Omeros complements the time-honored tradition of the epic by giving voice to the marginalized peoples of the New World. Hamner briefly explains his perception of the epic tradition and its viability in contemporary literature. He examines Walcott's writing career and traces his development of devices, themes, techniques, and a narrative style essential to epic poetry. Although Walcott could not have fully anticipated Omeros
